Misono 440 Series Chef Knife

"It's a guy thing. I just find it's a great knife that doesn't cost $400. It's well-made, it's well-balanced, but it's really straightforward. No whistles and bells, no fancy ergonomic handle — just a great knife that's the perfect size and just feels great in your hand."

"I like to have a big, chunky block board that I leave on a designated part of the kitchen counter. And it's just there. So I never have to go grab a board. If you're grabbing a big chunky board, then it's a pain in the ass, and if it's not a chunky board, then it's not a board I want to be cutting on in the first place — you know, those little plastic ones. If you're going to cook at all, just find a spot for it, put it there, you're good to go."
